Two people, Two backpacks, One world, One year
Round-The-World we go, where we will stop we vaguely know. We are two people who have made the dream of world travel real. We have begged, borrowed, scrimped and saved our way to a trip that will take us westward from the confines of our Maryland home until we end up back at our home a year later.
We are two people intrigued by people and the earth we live on. Young, full of energy and recently married, we feel this is the time in life to see and experience the world together. So, join us. Check out who we are, what we are taking, where we are going and how this came about. A bientot.
To find out more about how we got to this point, check out:
Planning - the route, tickets, insurance.
Essentials - documents, packing, medical supplies.
